OK, I've looked around but I haven't found any directions for this.  I'm
trying to write a script that will run a nessus scan after hours on our
workstations.  The scan needs to use multiple plugins (more than can be
listed easily with the -i option).  I noticed in the User Guide, on UNIX
something like this can be done using the command:
 /opt/nessus/bin/nessus --dot-nessus scan.nessus --policy 'Full Safe w/
Compliance' <host> <port> <user> <password> <results-file>  

This command does not work on Windows.

I found an older note that indicated how to run the scan from the command
line with all the plugins enabled:

NessusCmd localhost allsafe
NessusCmd 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.10 all

But neither of those seem to work any longer.

Is there a command for windows that I can use from the command line to
enable all or select categories of plugins?

Is there an equivalent command in windows where I can ID a .nessus file and
a certain policy in that file when scanning from the command line?

Thanks.
